Been going too long Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 15 minutes ago, Broken Algorithms said: Agreed. Folk seem to get really attached to a player when they're not playing even if they've not done much with their opportunities. Sometimes, things don't work out even initially. He's not getting game time and maybe a spell on loan will give him a chance to kick on. Worst comes to the worst he'll be back in January. I'd rather we use Zanatta as a forward ahead of Keatings for now. You'd expect we'll have a replacement lined up. Wouldn't be surprised if that happened to be a certain forward coming back from Hibs. Not fussed about him going, it’s hardly as if we used him anyway tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 To be honest the signing of Keatings sounded ok on paper probably due to our experience on his goals he's scored against us and his past reputation. His goal scoring exploits in recent times haven't been anything to shout about and he seemed to be one of those players who was in the team and out again due to injuries. As long as we have someone else coming in then I've no issues with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Oh no, all the Rovers fans on Twitter are going to be very upset. There's been a bizarre amount of clamour for Keatings recently. I was pleased when we signed him, but his game time, or lack thereof, speaks for itself. He's clearly not cutting it, so getting him out to League One makes sense. The big caveat is that we must replace him, and the reality is that it'll probably be another young player, and tips our squad further towards inexperience. To be fair, it happens most seasons with someone. The longer they don’t play, the better they get in some people’s eyes. At least some people will stop suggesting the Raith TV team ask McGlynn if it’s a fitness concern or a personal issue that is keeping him out the team now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I’m just glad we’re not loaning him to a team in the same league… It does seem a bit strange given we’re struggling for goals, McGlynn seemed very keen to sign him and he’s never really had a chance. He’s not had a single competitive start yet. However, JM sees him every day in training and he’s clearly not doing enough to get in the team. A loan seems a logical decision for all parties. Keatings gets some much needed games under his belt and if he does well he can add something to the team from January. As everyone else has said, the above only applies if we have another attacking option lined up to replace him, otherwise it leaves us ridiculously light. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I wonder if we’ve got a Celtic player on loan lined up to come in after the cup tie and that goes some way to explaining why as a club we haven’t kicked up a stink about the lack of tickets for fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bring in loan players I believe until 5th October , I think they need to be either free agents or with Scottish clubs as the international window is closed Edited September 22, 2021 by Finlay21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows there is a big appetite for what was IMO the best Raith top ever, surely the club could look into this, better money in their coffers than some random guy's pocket. You mean "retro Inverness tops" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Strange decision but something definitely not right given the lack of game time. Trust McGlynn’s decision making. Hopefully making way for a replacement of some sort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Seems unlikely there is an experienced, decent free agent floating about, so, assuming we do replace him and not just run with Poplatnik, Varion and Mitchell it will be another loanee kid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange situation and will leave is even shorter in numbers I’m sure he’s not a dud, because Petrie doesn’t take in players that are going to do nothing for the team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
